A/N: Yay! More reviews!
erikanator14: sorry about that, they really do look longer in Word, so to make it up to you, here is a much longer chapter!
niteowl-gal: yah, I know, I guess I just got so excited about my updates that I wanted people to drop everything and read my story. )
7:15 The Limo ride to school
Last night, I told Michael everything. I could tell he didn't believe me, but the conversation is replaying itself in my head constantly.
Me: Well, ok, but you asked for it. Sunday morning, when I woke up, I wasn't exactly myself.
Michael: Like you were sick?
Me: No, not sick. Ok, this is going to be difficult for me to say, so I am just going to say it. I am Mia. Lilly is trapped in my body, and I am trapped in hers.
He began laughing hysterically, and I could feel my cheeks get red.
Me: I'm serious Michael!
Michael: Prove it then.
I thought back, and tried to remember something that only he and I would know. Then I had it.
Me: You love it when I wear Cherry Chapstick.
Michael: Nice try, but I'm not buying it. There are quite a few people that know that about me.
I sighed. Obviously, I was going to have to bring out the big guns.
Me: When you kiss me, you wrap your arms around me and sometimes you grab my butt on accident. (A/N: ok, this is totally made up, but I didn't know what else to put)
Michael doesn't believe in PDA, so there is no way Lilly could know about that.
Michael: Oh my God. Who are you?
I told Michael the entire story, about how Lilly somehow switched us, and how that day, Lilly was responsible for all of Mia's actions. We devised a plot to get even with the little Miss. So, this morning, in the limo, things weren't exactly what I would call pleasant.
When Lilly hopped out of the limo in my body, Michael's eyes did not, as I had noticed the day before, light up. Instead, his eyes were focused on some distant point, and he had a deep scowl on his face. Lilly obviously did not notice anything to be amiss, however, and threw herself into Michael's arms.
"Good morning Michael." She greeted him enthusiastically.
He just turned his gaze toward her and grunted. I am seriously going to enjoy making her sweat.
"Oh, hey Mia," he replied, apathetically.
She looked nonplussed for a moment and looked at me.
"Hey Lilly!" She greeted me.
I couldn't let her know that I had revealed everything to Michael, so I greeted her back. The entire ride to school, she kept trying to speak to Michael, but only got non-committal answers back.
"So, sorry I couldn't talk to you last night. I wasn't really feeling well."
"Mmm-hmm." He looked away from her and I saw that he was trying to hide a smile.
"Are you mad at me?" She actually looked worried!
"Mmm, no, not really."
At this point, I feared that if things kept going the way they were, that I would burst into a fit of laughter and ruin everything.
"Mia, don't forget about that quiz on verbs today in French," I reminded her.
"Aww, damn, I totally forgot to study," she looked at Michael, "you know, since I was feeling sick and everything."
"That's too bad, I guess." He replied.
I have to divert her attention away from him before he starts laughing and blows our cover.
"Parle vous Français?" I asked her.
She just glared at me, and settled into the seat for the duration of the ride.
I am going to have too much fun with this!
Sometime after lunch, AEHS girls bathroomI am not really sure the exact time, but I am in the bathroom with Lilly, and tears are streaming down her face.
"Mia, I have something I have to tell you. But you have to promise that you won't be mad at me."
I smiled inwardly, and outwardly, tried to put on the most concerned face I could muster.
"What is it Lilly?"
"It's about Michael." She burst into huge, gulping sobs, and it was all I could do not to laugh at her.
"What happened?"
"I think he is definitely going to break up with you."
I gasped and sank down onto the cold tiles.
"What? Why? Did he say that?"
"Well, no, but I am pretty sure that is what he wants to talk to me about in G&T."
Just then, Lana walked in.
"Hey freaks, get out of the way," she snapped, motioning to the sinks we were sitting on.
Lilly gave me a meaningful look, as if to say "put her in her place, you know I would!"
I rolled my eyes and then in my snottiest voice said, "What's wrong Whine-berger, did you forget to hide your horns this morning?"
She just smirked at me, and turned around muttering, "fur-eeks", then pranced out of the bathroom.
When she had gone, I finally suggested that we head back to class.
G&T
I am sitting here, trying to record everything that is being said right here in this classroom. Maybe I should learn shorthand. Lilly had composed herself and was sitting at her desk with her Algebra notebook open, waiting for Michael's assistance. Boris sat next to me and had draped his arm across the back of my chair. I tried to think of something Lilly would say or do in this situation.
"Boris, could you go back to the supply closet, please?"
And could you untuck your sweater while you are at it?
"But I haven't spoken to you in several days, and…"
"Look, I'll call you tonight, okay? Now go!" I said, pointing my finger in the direction of the supply closet.
He picked up his violin case and closed the door behind him. This Lilly thing gets easier everyday!
Just then, Michael strolled into the classroom, and discreetly winked at me. He pulled a chair up beside Lilly and cleared his throat. The entire class was in attendance when Michael made his dramatic announcement.
"Mia," he began, facing her, "I've been thinking, and maybe we should spend some time apart."
Ooh, even though I know the truth, it still stings to see myself being dumped.
Lilly's grin fell off her face, and she glanced worriedly at me.
"What? You're breaking up with me?" she screeched, "You can't!"
A hush fell over the room, and even Boris, who had been in the closet playing Mozart, or whatever, poked his head out. Everyone stared at Lilly and Michael.
I pretended to look pained (which really, wasn't all that hard to do, considering I had just heard the words I always dreaded, coming from the lips of the love of my life) as Lilly looked at me with a shocked expression on her face.
Then she focused her gaze on Michael, and whispered, "Why?"
"Because you have been acting so weird around me, almost like you are avoiding me. And Judith Gershner just broke up with her boyfriend, and she's kind of into me, so I think I am going to give her a chance."
Ouch, that Judith Gershner thing is a nice touch. I just hope she doesn't hear about it, and think that Michael is interested in her. I wonder how long we should let Lilly stew about it.
Michael got up and headed to the other side of the room. Everyone else began acting busy as Lilly shouted, "What are you all looking at?"
I turned around to Michael and silently mouthed, "NOW?"
He nodded slightly and I turned back to face Lilly.
"Um, Mia," I began, "do you think we could have a word in the girls room?"
